My Updates
The 12 Wetsuits of Christmas
Wednesday 10th Dec
On the first day of Christmas my dear friends gave to me, pub-lic hu-mi-li-a-tion.
To add some festive cheer to our fundraising for Cure Cancer Australia, we are offering you 'The 12 Wetsuits of Christmas.'
Pool your donations, ask your boss or finally carry out your vendetta. It's for a great cause.
I'm training with Can Too for the 2km Ocean Swim!
Friday 3rd OctHi All,
I'm training for the 2km Ocean Swim event with Can Too and appealing to you to support me through Can Too.
Can Too are the people you see dressed in orange running and swimming all over Sydney. They raise funds that go directly towards funding cancer researchers through Cure Cancer Australia.
As every lsland-born human, I've been swimming longer than I've been eating solids so signing up with Can Too was easy.
Now comes the hard part.
I'll be training every Wednesday night in the pool and Saturdays at Manly in the actual salty soup.
Between you and me - the nightmares have already begun... washing machines, shark attacks, rogue anenomes, spontaneous sinking issues, having Billy Joel songs stuck in my head. The list is terrifying and endless.
To reduce the pressure, I'm going to refer to this task as 'not drowning' and let it morph into 'swimming' as I start to learn how to look more like a streamlined swimming machine and not my current 'woman loosing the sea.'
Your support is so appreciated - I'm sure all of you have been touched either by your own or someone you love's struggle with cancer.
I'm doing this with you and them in mind because 'The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.' (Woodrow Wilson).
Love and saltwater,
Nat x
Thank you to everyone who has made a donation towards my goal
